  Dear WordPress gurus,

  I’m new to WordPress. I just opened a private blog and I’m about to post my first entry in the blog. I see that the visibility of the post can be set to “public” or “private”. What does a “public post” mean in the context of a private blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  As the whole blog is private you do not make each posts and page in it private.

  Hi timethief,

  If I understand you, I can leave out the visibility of the post as Public and it will only be accessible to members of the blog

  Yes you can leave the visibility setting on posts and pages as public on a private blog as only members can read them.
